Evening Reading - November 3, 2026

• Feature

It was election night in the United States and the world is looking a little brighter tomorrow if you have a beating heart.

It’s been a crazy Tuesday, y’all. If you don’t know (how could you not?, the United States finally had its midterm elections tonight, and at the risk of sounding biased, the country showed it was fed up with terrible things. It was truly an astounding turnout and races are finishing up now. We like to talk about games and tech, but these races affect those things. The legislation, the regulations, the pricing. You’ve seen the news we post. Bad people were constantly winning and good things were becoming scarce and unaffordable. I don’t know if tonight means a road to recovery, but I want to believe it does. I hope it does. Here’s an Evening Reading to bring a whirlwind day to a close. Sorry for the politics before and in advance.

We won big on Queen’s Domain!

Queen's Domain is so fun. We got through a magic tower full of Akira slime, book worms, rude manticores, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure references, and a sh**-talking book that needed its ass kicked. Also we got poison knives for our trouble. #indiegame #indiegames #indiedev https://t.co/GFZHfcNonG

Queen’s Domain rules. It was a tough fight to the top of the Tower of Knowledge, but patience and perseverance won the day. And fire and knives. Those helped a lot, actually.

It cannot be understated how much Texas Republicans pooped themselves by running Paxton, but I hope now that Talarico has it, he does something with it.

A somewhat poor investment

The real story is that Elon Musk pissed away 450 million dollars in Texas.

— Alex Cole (@acnewsitics) November 4, 2026

Elon sure isn’t getting those hundreds of millions back. Wonder how he’s feeling about it?

All aboard the train to kindness and prosperity, or you can die under its wheels.

KRISTI NOEM FACES A COURT BATTLE AS RENEE GOOD’S FAMILY SUES NOEM, STEPHEN MILLER AND ICE OFFICER JONATHAN ROSS OVER WRONGFUL DEATH.

— Brad (@BraddrofliT) November 4, 2026

I hope the Good family guts Noem, Miller, and ICE for all they’re worth for the pain they caused that family.

A little bit of normal fun to cap it off
